Don't Let 'Em See You Shiver
My wife and I visited Denali National Park in August 2019, hoping for some great weather for photography and found only heavy clouds and rain.
We signed up for a photo tour which kept getting delayed in hopes of clearing weather, but it was not to be. Our guide, Todd Whetstine, struggled in vain to find something of photographic interest, be it a pair of swans floating down a river, or maybe some cascades on a small creek. Of all the stops he tried, I think my best images came from this lone raven sitting in the rain contemplating its lot in life.
An ominous figure because of its coloration, ravens are among the most intelligent species on the planet, and have been observed playing in the wild with other ravens and other species. On this gloomy, rainy day, however, this fellow wasn't feeling playful.
